All those that i have heard complaining about wookie armor in the game and saying it will make wookies to powerful, in the star was universe what is scary then hordes of dark troopers attacking, that is Hordes of pissed off, cause they have been enslaved, angry for beingtaken from there home world, heavey blaster cannon weilding in one hand, vibro axe weilding in the other Wook's, name of the most feared ships in all the star wars time lines, you may or maynot be right It was the Star Defender New republics bigest and best star destoryer named, Obi-wan. Wookies are one of the most feared creatures in the universe, many books refer to armor that wookies have had in the past, and in this game wookies have been getting bent over by every one in comp armor since DAY 1 now we have some thing to level the playing feild and people **edit** about it, cause they dont have there factional armor, well as if the imperials didnt have enough **edit** to screw the rebs over with sincedead eye was screwed up and we couldnt use it, and i have to say it got better no more 10 million at-st's running around andwith rancors and graul maulers.But increasing the ham on at-st's might as well have let it like it was cause with there ham there about the same a having 3 out,But since wooks now get armor all those people who have been owning us wooks in combat need to zipit, as the quote goes from babylon goes from the narren ambsasodr said, " your time has come and GONE, it our time to rulenow"so shut up anddeal or dont log in.

What's going on with this? I haven't seen hide nor hair of 2nd set being put in - or anything about the phantom 3rd set? They were pretty quick to push the first set out and suddenly it flatlined ...

I think the new armor is cool. I just can't wait to see a wookiee with the big ol' horns on his head riding a bantha


Wookiees do fit the "natural look" but it would be nice since they do have all the technical ability to see them in a version of the composite or something similar. BUT, all of that is just cosmetic anyway. the only character i've ever played is a wookiee and just HAVING some armor is good enough for me

I think the concept is cool. Kind of awkward maybe but when it comes out, that's when ill make my decision if i really like it or not. The first set was not too apealing in concept but it turned out to be pretty cool, and i take a hell of alot less dmg compared to before. Getting whacked by a picket in a few short hits is not cool. Withthe armor you can stand in there almost all day if you got a decent set of buffs.

How many Wookiees have we seen in the movies? Besides a few senators and Chewbacca, not too many. I think the devs have the right to have some creative license with the species considering there isn't much to go on.


Now if only someone could explain to me what they were thinking when they came up with the traveler's hat? Gawd that thing is ugly. XD


And devs, I love the Wookiee armor... but more clothing options would also be nice. It would also be cool if the armor fit the 'jacket' slot and armor padding fit the 'shirt' slot so we could wear both. Thanks.

As much as I appreciate SWG attempts to keep continuity, as well as the need to run these designs past Lucas Arts Licenscing, I think you guys are missing an important point about wookies.

Their uniqueness comes not from their 'traditional' and 'natural' technology, but from their good blend of 'traditional' and 'modern'.

Bowcasters are traditional Wookie weapons that often times combine older projectile attributes and newwer energy weapon ideas.

So why are all the Wookie Armor's made of Bone, Hide, and Wood?

C'mon! Wookies are strong! Give them a durasteel chestplate as thick as AT-ST armor! Give them helmets made of starship viewport material. Quit gimping one of the best races in the SW universe with false limitations of technological inferiority!!!

If I were a wookie I'd take these flimsy armors and break them on my knee to make padding for my REAL armor.






The first wook armor available is ceremonial armor. This implies it is not the true wookiee battle armor. The second appears to be one step up from that, hunting armor. The third will likely be a step up from hunting, and so on. The lack of technological components in these first wook armors could very well be a reflection of their purpose-ceremony and hunting. As the wook armors progress up the ladder I'd wager the abilities and components of the armor will climb up the ladder as well, and you'll get exactly what you are calling for. Although, I doubt it will have little to do with anything anyone has posted in the forums.
